this is the size of capital mall in Abuja and dont have time to destroy all your untruths because they bring no gain to me personally

Developed by Novare Real Estate Africa, the total size of the mall will be approximately 25 000m2. The development will be phased with an initial stage of 15 278m2.

Capital mall is not developed by Novare. Stop lying.

Tinapa is bigger than all the malls in Ghana combined.

A country of just 28m people which should be easy to manage. Yet they are so many in Nigeria.

Just imagine that. The inflation in Ghana and high cost of things are driving them down to Nigeria.

Casely Hayford and a whole lot of people had already led the way before Nkrumah was brought in

and he closed the chapter effectively

You are a stupid boy,aren't you? There's a difference between first and biggest. I repeat, Nkrumah was your biggest freedom fighter. Don't deny him his place in history.

Who would not get tired of educating such idiots? Just continue doing your best to augment their poor education.

Show us proof that azikiwe was a security man in Ghana.

became editor of African Morning Post, Ghana, 1934

In 1934 Azikiwe returned to Nigeria and accepted an offer to edit the African Morning Post, a new daily newspaper in Accra, Ghana, which he quickly made into an important organ of nationalist propaganda. In 1937 he returned to Lagos and founded the West African Pilot, which became "a fire-eating and aggressive nationalist paper of the highest order."

In Accra, Gold Coast (which later became Ghana). Three years later he started up the West African Pilot in Lagos, Nigeria, then built his newspaper holdings to including four other city newspapers. Azikiwe used his various publications to actively promote nationalist fervor and attack racial prejudice in the African colonies.

Are you in the league of SA? Is Nigeria a second world country? The answer is a definite NO!

Daejoyoung:

We are making almost thesame point.
2% growth rate is bad especially with the growing Nigerian population. But putting Kenya's 8% growth rate on thesame level as other countries growing at 8% is rather too simplistic.
8% growth rate though is great for the Kenyans at their level, just like Rwanda or Botswana may be a bit satisfied with their growth rate, but if the comments from Kenyans here are anything to go by, they want to be in the league of SA and Nigeria in no time, in that case then an 8% growth rate isn't huge.

He trained Nkrumah. Heck, he even started a business in Ghana and employed Ghanaians. Nigerians have been colonising Ghana business wise for a long time.

That was after he finished his studies in America. Then America's degree was not valuable hence the need to get a job in Ghana where there was no much competition due to shortage of expertise in that line.

Daejoyoung:

lf you can't comprehend, then do some research on my post before you quote me.
2% of 400 =8
8% of 80=6.4

We see from this simple arithmetic, that a 2% growth in Nigeria is even bigger than an 8% growth in Kenya.

lt's simple maths, if you can't understand this, then l can't help you.

except it is not big when you have to factor in 200M people

simple stats

Tinapa: Nigeria’s $450 million white elephant
adekunle adekunle
2 years ago

With its futuristic film studios, luxury shops and elevated light railway, Tinapa should be a showcase of Nigerian dynamism, a commercial hub for West Africa raking in millions of dollars.


Aerial view of the reception area of Tinapa Resort.

But 10 years after it opened, the resort in southeast Nigeria is a ghost town and has become a symbol of monumental waste.
Its majestic contours and avant-garde domes rise defiantly out of the bush and palm trees. At the entrance, a giant signboard proclaims: “Tinapa back on track!”


But the few visitors who venture inside are quickly disillusioned.

Apart from a few idle employees, not a soul stirs in the endless aisles of shops and warehouses that should have made the capital of Cross River state, Calabar, famous across Nigeria’s south.

“It’s empty there, we have no clients, it’s like a cemetery,” said one shop assistant in Da Viva, which sells the popular brand of wrapper skirts.

“Many have left already,” he added, pointing to shuttered premises.

A huge supermarket still displays clothes, furniture and foreign-made knick-knacks but in virtual darkness: the electricity was cut off some time ago.

Inside, an old man snoozes in the suffocating heat.

Tinapa, with its 80,000 square metres (861,000 square feet) of warehouses and shops, cost $450 million (413 million euros) to build.

But it has become a financial black hole for its backers.

– Economic development –

At the turn of the century, Nigeria was on the point of becoming Africa’s biggest economy and leading oil producer. Newly returned to civilian rule, everything seemed possible.

A handful of businessmen and architects got together and imagined an international centre of commerce and tourism in a free-trade zone.

Nigeria’s biggest banks fell over themselves to finance the project, which was opened in 2007.

“At that time, everyone was excited. Tinapa was going to boost economic development of the whole region and create thousands of jobs,” said Bassey Ndem, who was in charge of the project.

It aimed to attract Nigerian millionaires, who ordinarily jetted off to Dubai or London to go shopping, as well as make Cross River a commercial crossroads on the Atlantic coast.

A plush 242-room hotel with a view over the lagoon and a water park with slides were built to cater for the cream of high society and their families.

Alongside luxury tourism, imported goods would provide for Nigeria and its neighbours such as Cameroon, Chad and Niger, competing with the country’s commercial capital, Lagos.

“Everything was going well at first,” said Ndem. “At the peak, in 2009, we generated $30 million of revenue. But we faced a lot of resistance from the customs.

“They really didn’t want the tax-free zone to work.”

Goods were supposed to be exempt from import duties in the free-trade zone.

But from the beginning, the customs — which has a reputation for rampant corruption — blocked containers destined for Tinapa in the ports, paralysing business.

– Top down, trickle up –

Ndem left in 2012. None of his successors has managed to get Tinapa off the ground.

“There was clearly a lack of political will” to make the project succeed, he said, describing himself as angry and frustrated at a “wasted opportunity”.

For the economist and blogger Nonso Obikili, Tinapa’s downfall was largely because of a lack of existing infrastructure to transport goods: bad roads and an average-sized port.

“It was a wide project conceived with the deep sea port, which was supposed to enable big ships to come to Calabar,” said Obikili.

“It was the responsibility of the federal government but finally it wasn’t done,” he told AFP.

In the end, no big name jeweller or pret-a-porter line wanted to invest in the paradise promised by its promoters and the hotel remains desperately empty.

The cinema studios have likewise been unable to attract Nollywood’s stars, who have largely preferred to stay in Lagos.

In “Looking for Transwonderland: Travels in Nigeria”, the British-Nigerian author Noo Saro-Wiwa castigates the leaders in the country of her birth.

Few of Nigeria’s nearly 190 million inhabitants have benefited from the riches brought by oil; most still live in extreme poverty.

“This top-down approach to boosting Calabar’s economy seemed hollow,” she wrote.

“I’d heard Nigerian politicians’ endless talk about theme parks, tourist resorts, shopping malls and their ‘trickle down’ effects on the economy.

“But there’s no such thing as ‘trickle down’ in Nigeria — money trickles upwards or evaporates on contact with air,” Saro-Wiwa wrote in 2012.

Forget about Kenya.Is Nigeria in this stage? Nigeria is still a developing country and so a 2 percent economic expansion shouldn't be tolerated.Fact is,your bosses at the treasury and even the president aren't happy about this.For Nigerians to treat a 2 percent growth as normal and equate it with the growth as seen in big economies is pure comedy gold!
